'It's really encouraging that Gurgaon police has taken such an initiative and they are sensitive towards problems of the people. I am fed up with traffic snarls and a timely traffic advisory will definitely help me to take an alternative route.'

"One need to register at
www.jiobindaas.com/ggnalerts or
https://www.gurgaonpolice.net/ to start receiving messages about traffic jams, the routes which should be avoided, security alerts and crime and public information alerts.
This would really help the resident in planning their day and making their lives easy," Gurgaon Police Commissioner SS Deswal told MiD DAY.
The Gurgaon police have been sending mobile alerts on the status of passport applications, till recently.
The cops in the satellite town have also compiled a huge database of working professionals in Gurgaon. The data has been classified according to the nature of the job of an individual. The mobile alerts will be directed in consonance with the profile of the executives.
"We have data on people working at public places like malls, banks, markets, cinema halls, hospitals and schools too. For them the messages will be timed according to their work schedules," Deswal added.
The compilation of the comprehensive database was started a month ago when the police launched an immediate communication of any crime reported in police control room. "The move brought in a huge difference in terms of time and accuracy of information," Deswal said.
"As and when crime occurs in the city details are instantly posted on all mobile phones, including all police nakas, police riders, SHOs and all police officers right up to the Commissioner of Police via SMS. The time lag between the occurrence of crime and the information reaching the officials or police post has substantially reduced this way," the Gurgaon police commissioner said.
CEO of Jiobindaas Global Pvt Ltd Rahul Soni said the mobile platform is a very flexible medium and can be used for a number of tasks. "The initiative taken by Gurgaon police will definitely help the citizens."
